A mother took revenge on her unfaithful boyfriend by recruiting a removal firm to strip his flat bare, leaving only the underlay for the carpets.

Corrina Finney, 39, spotted that her lover of 10 years, who is 24 years her senior, had created a profile on a dating website called Mature, Free and Single.

It was the third time that Brian Waite, 63, had cheated on Finney, a court heard. The mother of two, who had a key to Mr Waite’s flat, persuaded a removal van driver to help her empty the property while he was out. She took all furniture, electrical equipment, bed, clothing, toiletries, and even the carpets. Mr Waite returned in the evening to find the interior of his flat “looking like a new build”.

Finney, of Redhouse in Swindon, has pleaded guilty to theft at Swindon magistrates’ court. But she has refused to apologise and said she is glad that Mr Waite “got what he deserved”. She said: “I am not sorry. My solicitor told me to say I was sorry but I’m not — I am only sorry I didn’t do it sooner. I was heartbroken. This was a man I loved for 10 years.”

The case was adjourned until May 12 for psychiatric and pre-sentence reports.
